This is to announce the launch of my new blog:

Doctrina Liturgica
http://www.doctrinaliturgica.com/

The purpose of the blog is to provide supplemental commentary on issues raised in my new book, Work of Human Hands: A Theological Critique of the Mass of Paul VI.

It’s popular among conservatives these days to claim that a “hermeneutic of continuity” (Benedict XVI’s famous phrase) can be applied to the New Mass — i.e., there’s no REAL difference between the traditional Mass and the Mass of Paul VI.

Two recent posts on Doctrina Liturgica chip away at that idea:

One, “The Novus Ordo and Corpus Christi ‘Lite,” deals with the changes in the Corpus Christi texts — no more talk about eating and drinking the Body of Christ unworthily to your own condemnation, no matter what St. Paul said.

Another, “The World, the Sacred Heart and the New Mass,” discusses the elimination of the phrase “to despise earthly things” from the prayers of the new Missal.

You can sign up on the blog for an RSS feed, which will alert you whenever there is a new posting.

Please pass this e-mail along to your traditional Catholic friends.
